I was totally blindsided, ... I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards. I love playing here. I probably had the best practice week I've ever had in lead-up. You kind of feel it and you hope for something good. I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.

bit close family grew life lose love mature nebraska style texas trip
I'll never lose my roots. I think I'm too close to my family for that. I still make my trip back to Nebraska every year, and I still love going back to Texas where I grew up, as well. I've just kind of had to mature a little bit more and get used to a little bit different style of life.

You know, I still love the innocent parts of the game. I love hitting tennis balls. I love seeing the young guys do well. I'll still have a lot of friends to watch. I'll miss the relationships probably the most. As time passes, I'll probably miss the tennis more.

tennis fifth
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!

I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.
successful player
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
